    The science of craniocervical instability and other spinal issues and their possible connection with ME/CFS - discussion thread

    It’s quite a confusing narrative, I wonder if it’s clearer in the original language?

    UK - Resources for help getting food during quarantine and other supermarket related problems

    That’s expensive compared to our Ocado wild week delivery pass at 4.99 a month

    Dr Ron Davis - Updates on ME/CFS research - September 2019 onwards

    Glad it’s not just me, this kind of marketing nonsense just doesn’t help.

    New draft NICE guidelines for chronic pain emphasises exercise, CBT and acupuncture over medication

    I was going to ask the same thing. I got the impression it was no better than a placebo.

    Ear muffs for better rest

    Flare isolate make the best earplugs I’ve ever used (I’ve tried a lot). It’s much trickier if you can’t tolerate something in your ears though. Ear muffs wouldn’t cut down noise very much and would get very hot so I guess noise cancelling headphones would probably be the best bet.

    Esther Crawley's presentations (excluding the 2017 TEDx talk)

    Id certainly hate to meet a team that beat them in those respects.....

    Whitney Dafoe Updates

    Have to agree with that. I find it quite off putting. Really hope Ron Davis proves me wrong and cracks this though.

    Mirror: Tory minister demands comedian Ricky Gervais apologises for branding ME sufferers 'lazy' in offensive joke

    Because he’s so known to back down and apologise for jokes of course.....

    Article in Guardian: Covid lockdown opening up world for people with disabilities Apr 2020

    I guess it’s give and take really. On one hand I can watch phantom of the opera streamed online but on the other I’m struggling to get food and other people with more serious needs are struggling to get essential care. Oh and some cancer patients will have years knocked off their life. But, west...

    UK: UC50 (Universal Credit) or PIP diary

    I have submitted a dairy in the past, it’s always debatable what helps and what doesn’t but I’d prefer to er on the side of providing more evidence than less personally. Even if the decision maker doesn’t read it, a tribunal will if it goes that far so the whole don’t bother they won’t look...

    Resources for help getting food during quarantine and safe handling of food

    Have you ever heard of Huel? They do meal replacement powdered drinks and granola. It has everything nutrient you need but it tastes like an oat milkshake. The granola is more palatable but a bit more expensive. They are getting low on stock but there are still some available. It might not be...

    Films

    Wheelman on Netflix was a good action thriller. I finally watched the evil dead remake too, surprisingly good although of course not a patch on the original.

    Cooking with Corona - coping with power cuts

    Most people already are, gas central heating won’t work without electricity so unless you have a wood/coal stove (which very few people do) you are effectively 100% reliant on electricity. Adding in more houses with solar PV, battery storage and air source heat pumps would make the system more...

    “The real me shining through M.E.”: Visualizing masculinity and identity threat in men with ME/CFS using photovoice and IPA.- Wilde et al 2020

    The study says similar work has been done on female patients in the past, it actually implies a heavy female bias on this kind of work. I have no clue if that’s true but assuming it is I fail to see how this is sexist. Nonsense maybe but I’d say the same whatever gender was being talked about...

    Cooking with Corona - coping with power cuts

    The other option might be having some MRE style meals in with the self heating packs?

    Cooking with Corona - coping with power cuts

    Ive never used a tablet fuel stove myself but I think you are right and that they only have one heat setting and that you ideally leave them them to burn out. I also just read the fumes are quite nasty too so it may not be something you’d want to use indoors at all, even with a window open. It...
